It's 2020, and podcasts are still a thing. I have never been an avid listener of Podcasts, but I appreciate others are, and I understand the value of the format. After doing some research, I figured it would be great to launch a podcast to see the uptake on the topics we would share. During 2019, I teamed up with Jussi Roine, and we launched the Ctrl+Alt+Azure Podcast. Jussi also wrote a story about "Getting started with a podcast - the equipment, setup and logistics," and I shared my thoughts in my post "We just launched an Azure…
Are you a CIO, CISO, or are you at any level responsible for security in your organization? Are you just getting started with Azure and the cloud, and having a remote workforce - or are you seasoned in the cloud, but your users are not? Here's a couple of tips from the field that I hope can help. Work From Home, or #WFH, is a thing today. I have been successfully working remotely for more than seven years, and I have enjoyed every minute of it - but it isn't without challenges. I get questions regularly now, both from family…
The years fly by, and we continue to evolve how we design and architect our systems. As we learn more, and technology evolves, so does our processes and design considerations. In this post I want to make notes of a few best practices I've adopted and keep at the top of mind when I engage in new projects that require reliable serverless executions at scale. There are a ton of other things I would want to add to this post as well, but I've chosen the things I consider to be "a-ha" moments for myself throughout my years of building…
Imagine you have a Function App that has multiple Functions deployed. It's a common scenario, and depending on how you've built the architecture for the solution, it can come in handy to use Dependency Injection to instantiate a service once when the Function App (host) starts up, and re-use that object across all executions of your Functions inside this Function App. To paint a picture of what this means, I can refer to one of my spare-time project scenarios. I have a Function App on a premium tier with 8 Functions that are a mix between Timer Triggers and Queue…
Best Practices for security in Azure Container Registries is a list of real-world experiences in strengthening your security posture.…
While threats are ever-increasing, so are the capabilities, methodologies, and technologies we have at our disposal to mitigate risks at a higher cadence than ever before. In this article, I'll talk about the responsibility we have as developers, solution architects, DevOps engineers, and anyone else involved in your teams. Security is a team effort, and everyone needs to get on board on what processes and rules to follow. Today we can automate a lot of the things we do for code quality and security, so the road to increasing the security posture doesn't have to be a long one. Regardless…
I have a lot of Azure Functions. Most of them are running on v2 with support for .NET Core 2.2 and netstandard2.0. During the upgrade process of my projects, I stumbled onto this several times across different projects: Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Host: Cannot bind parameter 'log' to type ILogger. The full message: [2019-12-17 8:10:32 PM] Error indexing method 'ControlApp' [2019-12-17 8:10:32 PM] Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Host: Error indexing method 'ControlApp'. Microsoft.Azure.WebJobs.Host: Cannot bind parameter 'log' to type ILogger. Make sure the parameter Type is supported by the binding. If you're using…
